Abstract

The present invention discloses a method and system for developing and operating interactive Web applications in a unified, light-weight, on-demand, modular server application framework. The present invention provides a novel unified approach utilizing a single programming language to develop interactive Web applications. The modular Web applications of the present invention operate at the server-side. The Web application of the present invention comprises one or more Web application modules written entirely in a scripting programming language. The Web application modules are interpreted and executed by the scripting language interpreter engine to generate all of the code necessary, such as the HTML and JavaScript code, to service the requests from the clients. Unlike existing server-based integrated solutions, however, the present invention does not require the entire Web application to be loaded at all times to be operational. The Web application modules of the present invention are loaded and executed on-demand as required by requests from the Web clients, thus requiring much less computing resource overhead than existing integrated server-based solutions. The result is a unified approach that provides a single programming language framework for developing interactive Web applications that is light weight, modular, and flexible.
